Why do people vote Tory?

You forgot the third option.

Use of nuclear weapons by a nuclear armed state against a non nuclear armed state when there were no other nuclear armed states.

The Soviets were preparing to move against Japan, I think the nuclear attack was to speed capitulation so the US could get all of that piece of the pie.

Are they coming back for a second try?

I ask because I'm wondering what the relevance is to $(CURRENT_YEAR).

RE. Trident.

Probably the biggest argument for it, is that it isn't all spent on one missile or one boat..

There's a whole host of supporting skills and industry that it , well, supports, from engineering all the way down to admin support functions, companies that sell it systems to the engineers etc etc

Wages get taxed, spent in local economies etc.

Okay, you could say spend it in education to start with, but none else wants to pay for academic education without real experience (ask Percy).

Sauce; anecdotal.

I'm being selfish.

I don't have kids and don't see why I should pay for other peoples kids to be looked after while they go to work. Kids are a lifestyle choice. I chose motorcycles, nobody buys me a motorbike.

I don't use the fucking trains either. They are too expensive and too crap and they are better now than when they were nationalised.

I could go on and pick every one of the things Labour wants to do.

In essence, absolutely nothing Corbyn wants to bankrupt the country for decades into the future to pay for will be of any benefit to me whatsoever. It's like being back in the 70's but without the casual racism.

Are you planning to euthanise yourself when you're past working age, or will you be expecting my children to take care of you?

'Kin 'ell. I thought we'd been here in threads passim.
There (were) are 25 million or so 'baby boomers', all due to shuffle within the next ten-fifteen years. The way social care is heading its almost like a mass cull. 'Oh, but you are all living longer!' comes the screetch. Maybe, but the few extra years that the ordinary Joe gets, (as opposed to those rich enough to afford harvested organs) are hardly going to alter the numbers.
Where, just the hell, WHERE are these projected population growths heading anywhere up to 80 million coming from? Even the prodigiously producing Asians can't bang out that many little Jihadists.
I estimate that by 2025 /2030 our population will actually have dropped to below 60 mill, but, it will be of a mainly younger age, without the lead weight of the aged to support. Even with a robotically mechanised workforce, there will still be a need for the engineers to maintain and install, program and actually develop the artifacts they are making.
Its a different future, for sure, but not necessarily apocalyptic.

Here's a very good reason why people vote Tory. Illness my arse!! If she hasn't been gagged then I'm a monkeys uncle.
Diane Abacus only has to speak on any subject (while rolling her big googly eyes to give the illusion of conscious thought)
to start costing labour votes. She's done more for the Conservatives than May has. Polarbear wil be laughing his arse off.
